Gonepteryx rhamni
Faint yellow butterfly of medium size, drinking nectar from a pink flower, I'm gonna try to find out what that plant is, because I find a lot of insects on those.
Dirt road through ancient forest.

This one was around 40 cm high, but might be that the around uses fertilizers on their fields that could explain that it grows higher. However this plants flowers is pink. But it could be some related species, because it is similar. Thanks @ sue.collins
if that plant is low growing eg up to 20cm it might be Bugle Ajuga reptans. A short creeping plant, it spreads using runners. Often found carpeting damp grassland and woodland clearings
Thank you, I get lucky sometimes :)
Great shot!
